What to Bring: A telescope, your beverage of choice, snacks, $5 for projector bulb donations

Next meetup on Friday, Sept 21st at Freeside for pizza, videos and discussion, then off to the Fernbank at 9pm to use the big telescope if it's not raining!

Check out our Stargazer Doc to see links to things we like to watch and talk about. Join our email list to keep up to date on events and projects.

Dust off your telescope and come out for an astronomically fun Friday night. This is a casual amateur astronomy meetup started up by Rachel Peterson and Greg Cook.

We meet every third Friday at 7:30pm at Freeside to view some of the latest cosmic images on the big screen and talk about current missions and events. Then we head out to a predetermined location to set up our telescopes and see what’s going on out there. Feel free to bring a blanket, snacks and beverages. No worries if you don’t have a telescope and stuff… we can all share.

Anyone that has something to share on a cosmic-related subject, just let us know and we will give you the floor. And feel free to suggest videos, topics and stargazing locations.

If you are not a Freesider, you are very much welcome to join us. Kindly donate $5.00 towards a projector bulb and to keep Freeside going.

Also, check out Space Apps Challenge. Maybe we can talk about collaborating on a fun space app at Freeside.
